KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian Idol (MI) third-placer Vick Teo was prominently filmed teasing fifth-placer Saipul Bakeri as a “pretty boy who loves pretty flowers” during one of the weekly MI concert side-shows.
Nurullah Abdul Hamid or Nurul of Akademi Fantasia Season Two (AF2) begs to differ. She is very proud of her “brave little brother” and fellow Kuching native.
Nurul, 22, said that Saipul had done Kuching and Sarawak proud, and showed youths the important lesson of humility, courage, perseverance and “being yourself”.
“I wish Saipul all the best in his music career. He must work hard, never forget his fans and be himself,” she said.
Adam (Mohd Aizam Mat Saman), 21, the AF2 second runner-up, said he was very proud of his fellow Kota Kinabalu-born contestant Rydiana (Rydee) Abdul Rahim, also 21, even though she finished ninth in MI.
He said that Rydee was a good friend who had what it takes to shine in the local music scene, as she was soulful and charismatic.
Adam also paid tribute to Nicolette (Nikki) Palikat, 19, also from Kota Kinabalu, who finished sixth in MI.
“What’s up, Nikki? Wishing you all the best,” he said.
ERA.FM disk jockey Nana or Nurul Hana Che Mahazan, 21, an Akademi Fantasia Season One (AF1) contestant, and AF2's Kaer (Wan Mohamad Khair Wan Azami), 19, sent their warmest regards to Malaysian Idol contestant Sufiah Mohd Noor.
Nana said that Sufiah, 26, should “believe in herself” and “keep up her soulful R & B performances”.
Kaer said he would love to meet up with Sufiah and enjoy a sushi meal with her.
AF2's Zarina Zainoordin, 20, said she wished MI fourth-placer Andrew Tan, also 20, all the best in his studies and singing career, and admired his courage and ability in singing both Bahasa Malaysia and English songs.
Zarina said: “Good luck to your new path, Andrew.”
AF2's Anding Zaini, 21, and Fitri Zainal Abidin, 25, praised MI eighth-placer Victor Lee, 22, as an exemplary contestant who not only believed in improving his singing abilities
but also excelling in his hair-styling profession.
Anding said: “You’ve got a bright future, Victor. All the best.”
Fitri said: “Excel in what you do, Victor. Good luck always.”
